why would obama pick him? can you make a guess here? >> i think first of all the president shares his views or doesn't have a problem with his views which raises another set of issues. secondly, you've got to assume that the president isn't paying too much attention. look what has happened in the last 24 hours. iranians have been asked if they are going to significantly increase the number of centrifuges they are using. you've got new threats from al-qaeda both against the united states homeland and interests overseas. two days ago the israelis had to take action against a convoy that was carrying russian made missiles to hezbollah. you have a world that is increasingly dangerous and chuck hagel shows he is not up to the task. >> sean: great insight. thanks for being with us. >>> thank you. >> sean: up next -- >> in the event of a shooting, you must determine the most reasonable way to protect your own life. you will need to determine if the best course will be to evacuate or to hide. >> sean: an administration that is committed to take

are in a strange operation where obama was a champion of y bipartisansh bipartisanship. the only way you see bipartisanship work at this point is if he doesn't show any leadership really at all. jay carney episode was interesting it sounded like he was trying to ghetto bam ma to take credit for it. it is possible that what he was announcing is he is going to pull back from the process. the white house was actually writing legislative language and proposing its own actual ibill which is very rare. he will cast his blessings on the bipartisan effort. he was radioactive among republicans. >> why does jay carney come out as we see the glad handing we never see hem back slapping and happy talking about issues of reform. 86 percent want to see it happen. why does jay carney say it is important to stop and acknowledge this is happening because the president demonstrated significant leadership? why must we do that now as we are on the edge of the deal? >> first of all we should be shocked a white house is taking credit for progress of bipartisansh bipartisanship. that's a bipart

martha: when i remembered back president obama was picking secretary of state the first time around he was interested in the job. he was interested in the presidency as well nine years ago. this has to be a big day for him. he's been a senator for a longtime. this is a pretty big promotion. >> reporter: sure, and, you know, president obama said when he nominated senator kerry, and i think very accurately that senator kerry was essentially bread for this condition. his nats was a foreign service officer. he longed for this job for a longtime, and he didn't really make it secret that he really wanted to be secretary of state. and you see his wife next to him, theresa hines kerry. they have also signaled that this is a want, and he wanted to be chairman of the senate foreign relations committee because of his cant to b want to be involved in foreign affairs. this fits his personality, it's what he wants and it's expected that as long as he doesn't trip over himself in this hearing, and it's not expected that he will, that he will get an overwhelming amount of support from both republicans

barack obama doesn't dell gate. he dominates. and i think both chuck hagel and john kerry may well have to get used to the fact on the big issues, and it should be the president ultimately who makes the big decisions but consequential and effective secretaries of defense and secretaries of state help shape the policy. and that really remains to be seen. in an obama second term. jenna: let's go bigger if we can for a moment. because the questions about the president's relationship with israel, again are one ally in this region, have been a constant questioning over the last four years. now we're going to be in a new term. regardless what happens with senator hagel and whether or not he heads up the pentagon which is expected, what do you i think the damage is of those questioning of our administration and our loyalty to our ally? >> well, i think the reality is if barack obama, and again, this a two-way street. benjamin netanyahu is not an easy guy to get along with. protects the interest of his country. sometimes those diverge wi
